CU’s McKnight: Team stands behind ‘Coach Hawk’

“No way” was the answer Colorado junior receiver Scotty McKnight gave to reporters after Friday night’s 54-38 loss at Toledo when asked if he was worried about the future of head coach Dan Hawkins.

“Everyone on the team believes in Coach Hawk and what he’s trying to accomplish,” said McKnight, who set a school record with 11 receptions. “He has set big goals for us. And we as players did not take care of the details. You go back to the penalties, missed assignments, Cody gets sacked, defensively giving up big plays …

“We have to go back and take care of business, and we have full faith in Coach Hawk and his coaching staff,” McKnight added. “They show us respect. We love them back. We’re going to get this thing done. We’re going to get it turned around. We will.”

Poor McKnight, he has to straight up lie to the press corps with his support for Hawkins. Coach Hawkins looked one interception more away from breaking down and crying last night and McKnight must be tired of Little Hawkins throwing the ball around with his limp arm.

Hey CU fans, how does it feel to have the laughing stock football team of the state of Colorado? LAWL.

I moved down here from Boise in 2004 and when I first heard that CU had hired Hawkins as their football coach I almost fell out of my chair. Everybody in the Boise area wanted this guy GONE and gone fast when he was the coach at Boise State so I just could not and still can not believe that they hired this nut case. Hos coaches show up in Boise was a joke and he acted like such an idiot on his show you literally could barely watch it. What in the world was the AD at CU thinking when they hired this guy? Why did they hire him? Well now the people in Colorado are seeing what weve known for years up in Boise. Do the people in Boise miss Hawkins? Uhh, NO! As soon as he left Boise State won their 1st big bowl game down in Arizona. Thats how much we miss Hawkins.

Regardless of how Cody plays, and his line is usually the same…2 TDs, 2 picks, 1 fumble, 5 batted down balls…The Buffs won’t win because they don’t have any team speed. So when I read that McNight or Hawkins say that they just need to fix the little things I have to laugh. Toledo had 10 guys faster than any Buffalo on Friday night. You can’t “fix” speed, you have to recruit it. Hawk hasn’t done that.

Tom-

No worries. The buffs aren’t “the laughing-stock football team of the state of Colorado.” We got the team playing on Sundays already fulfilling that role for us!

Been a Buff fan since my frosh year(’75). Drake, Mt.St- they cannot compare to the disgrace of the current team. I really feel at this point CU should leave the Big 12,they just cannot compete in this conference. KU ,Mizzou ,TTech have all gotten better-not the Buffs! My new conference:
Rocky Division(it would be a BCS conference):
CU
CSU
BYU
Utah
Wyoming
Air Force
Boise St.
Nevada-Reno

CU would finish 5th or 6th

Comments???

I don’t know what game Tom watched, but QB Hawkins was running for his life most of the night. His receivers looked like they gave up on routes and few came back to help their QB. CU defense looked porous. Coaches don’t play the game but they shoulder all the blame. Hopefully CU gets it together to be a force to reckon with come league play, otherwise we will eventually lose our annual Friday get together after Thanksgiving. CU makes a better rival when they are tough and on top of their game. Go Buffs!

Coach hawkins is going to lose his job and burn CU to the ground trying to prove bringing in Cody is the right thing to do. Rest In Peace CU.
